Alright well this is my first attempt at keeping a journal like this, but here goes nothing, and i warn you now, it's going to be a long one. I'll go into a little more detail than my introduction. As I've said before I'm currently in the United States Air Force. A little background on why i joined. I went to college for a little bit and absolutely hated it. I could never apply myself b/c i was majoring in something i didn't want to do, and something I did to make my parents happy. So naturally when you don't apply yourself to something what happens? you fail. and that's what i did. i failed out. I was originally working as an EKG technician at a local hospital and i absolutely loved it. I'm very much a people person and i enjoyed interacting with patients. Doing whatever procedure i needed to do on them, Make them laugh a little bit and go on with my day. Well worst part about it was i was working full time and not even making enough money to move out. II've worked here for 3 years, I'm 22 years old i don't want to live at home forever
So i went to talk to a recruiter, he told me the No buillshit truth about the Air Force and told me he wasn't going to sugar coat anything and if i wanted to join i could and if i didn't he wasn't going to lose sleep at night. Honestly I admired his outlook on his job b/c i've heard so many stories since i've joined on how people's recruiters have lied to them, any who. I told my recruiter that I wanted a Medical job no matter what and he worked with me and found me the perfect job for me, Cardiopulmonary Laboratory Technician. That honestly a fancy name for a Respiratory Therapist. I signed my papers and away we go
I left for basic training on December 26th and arrived in San Antonio Texas the next day. Basic Training was not as hard as other let on to believe. But it was definitely not easy. I graduated on February 24th(picture time!!!)


I honestly don't like that picture b/c i believe it looks nothing like me. but anywho. After BMT I got stationed at Fort Sam Houston again in San Antonio(Why is it always hot as hell here?!?) I Graduate a week from today and I'm an Honor Student. I can't believe it. It's amazing how going to school for something you want to do can make a difference in your life. Well anywho. After Friday i'll be Stationed at good old Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton Ohio. About an hour from my house. I can't wait to get home, see my family, drive my car, which i'm having withdrawls from right now, Play with my cat and dogs, and see my friends. Now about my friends. I honestly think i have the best friends anyone could ask for. And i mean that when i say it. they have supported me all through this decision for me to join the military and i have no bad things to say about them. in all the time i've known them. I never have once gotten pissed at any of them.(picture for Reference to friends)

I would be nothing without them. Now, what to talk about next hm......... I'm pretty much an open book. People think i'm pretty funny and at times i can have a dry and sarcastic sense of humor. who knows. anywho i'm enjoying some amazing General Tso's chicken right now


And i'm enjoying some fantastic music right now. Enjoy!




P.S. I'm not going to add anyone as a friend on here. I don't want to be "that guy". but i'll happily accept any friend request that is thrown my way.
